From one May birthday to another who also bakes cakes with einkorn and sour dough. I have a moist chocolate which was a family favorite and I changed it up it’s amazing.

[@ja-uh9gz]

I agree with you. I like simple, plain cakes without all the goo. I love pies, too. That cake is so pretty, with the strawberries and edible flowers...and looks so delicious!

[@theelliotthomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jennacoryell4160]

Been watching your channel since 2018. YT unsubscribed me. I had to search you out. If you see the views dropping, don't feel bad. Your content is great! It's just that wholesome tradwives are a threat to the establishment, and where they want to take us. Keep going!

[@h.faries7230]

I've had this happen too, but funny enough, it's only happening to certain types of channels!! Homesteading, from scratch, herbalism, gardening, those types!

[@normaesteva3698]

Absolutely correct. It's happening more and more on KZbin with channels with wholesome content.

[@kgardennerd]

I’m thinking I might have to make my first foray into sourdough. This looks delicious. And I love your top Shaye, so cute and classic!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Happy birthday! What a lovely memory of your grandpa making lemon meringue pie each birthday! Your cake is beautiful!! I dislike store cakes and that sickningly sweet frosting beautiful cake!

[@rebekahfranks4205]

Ahhhh…..now to sit down and watch another wonderful episode

[@SarahWarman80]

I took the sourdough workshop last summer, it was great! I highly recommend it.

[@ritabrutsky7820]

Why not cut it in layers and have some cream in a middle to make more like a cake actually ? Would sure taste good with that cream in a middle 😋

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

Lovely cake. I so appreciate how you scraped out the bowls. I know it may be silly, but I hate when bakers leave so much in the dish. They obviously have never gone without. Btw-I took your suggestion about a dry starter a while ago and I love it! So much less waste.

[@ericarichards447]

Beautiful! I love your videos!One thing I’d love to see is a top view, of your recipe, more often. It’s hard to see what it looks like at the different stages. Thanks!

[@relliot1000]

Is this made with einkorn flour?

[@An-mei]

Yes

[@MrDerJohann]

At min 3:18... Ein korn greettings from Germany 🇺🇲❤️🇩🇪

[@lmullens75]

Does anyone know if this kind of cake needs whole butter? We are dairy free & feeling so good! I may try it with clarified butter/ghee instead of having the milk fat in there?

[@aimeestauffer2844]

Happy birthday! I turn 47 today.

[@theelliotthomestead]

Happy Birthday!

[@danamama6766]

What was the third purple flower you used? I use borage and rose petals and pansys and marigold petals etc so very curious what that third one was. I think I recognize it Just can't think. My gosh that looks so so beautiful!! Haaa to pretty to eat almost. Yum. hugs

[@user-ov6vs4bf5p]

How much melted butter and milk to make the cake?

[@lynnbontrager2069]

Where do we find the recipe for the cake? I didn’t see it on the website.

[@julia.mattei]

INGREDIENTS For the cake − 275 grams (about 1 cup) of active, bubbly sourdough starter − 275 grams all-purpose einkorn flour − 175 grams milk − 175 grams butter, melted − 150 grams honey − 3 eggs − 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract − 3 teaspoons baking powder − ¾ teaspoons baking soda − ¾ teaspoon sea salt For the meringue − For the meringue − ½ cup honey − 2 eggs whites − Pinch sea salt INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, milk, and butter. Stir well to combine. Cover and set aside for 2-12 hours. The longer your cake sits, the further the sourdough flavor will develop and the gluten will be broken down. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and line a 9x13 baking dish or 10-12” cake pan. Set aside. 3. Melt the honey in a small saucepan. Add the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract into the flour mixture. Fold to combine, taking care to not overmix. 4. Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt over top of the dough. Again, fold to combine without overmixing. 5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Place the cake in the fpreheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and golden, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. 6. Allow the cake to completely cool. 7. While the cake cools, add the egg whites and pinch of sea salt into a stand mixer. Begin to mix on high. 8. While the egg whites whip, melt the honey in a small saucepan until it reaches 240 degrees (rapidly bubbling). 9. Carefully, and slowly, drizzle the honey into the stand mixer while it’s whipping the egg whites. Go slowly and take a full minute or two to drizzle the entire honey mixture in, running the mixer on high the whole time. 10. Continue to run the mixer on high for an additional 10 minutes. During this time, the egg whites should double in size, become very stiff, and begin to look very shiny. 11. Evenly spread the meringue on top of the cake and serve at room temperature.

You have to pay for her recipes 😞

[@wilmawagler5058]

Can anyone help me with the grams? I only do cups 🙈would love to make this.

[@kgardennerd]

@@julia.mattei thank you!

[@Julia29853]

@@wilmawagler5058buy a kitchen scale. Use the “zeroing out” button and you can measure right into the bowl

[@JessicaKnepper]

It’s beautiful Shaye! What’s the yellow flowers you put on the cake? The rose petals are a fun idea. I wouldn’t have thought to use those. 🥰

[@juliecarns]

Hi Shaye, This cake will be made in our home! I know you don’t read comments generally but I would love the link for your sweater. Julie

Hey...I recognize you from the Chic Society...I think Jennifer may have this sweater also?!?

Wouldn’t the “digestive benefits” get killed in the heat of the oven?
